"The biggest music story of this year I think everyone can agree is Cardi B. She was just a breakout star in every sense of the word. And she has gone on to captivate the news cycle the entire year, not just for her music but for her personal life."

"Drake had a huge year of course. But that's not surprising because everything he touched turns to gold. Like his album and his singles have become the radio. Like you cannot turn on, I don't care if it's Top 40 or RB hip hop radio, without hearing Drake."

"The Carters had a huge year and it kind of kicked off with them hitting the road. On The Run II, their big worldwide concert that they did. They launch 'Everything Is Love.' This is a surprise album as Beyonce is want to do. And it really just spoke to where they are now in their lives and in their music and in their marriage."

"Ariana Grande has had a huge, huge year musically and a tough year personally. And then she ends this year with a teaser for her next album, 'Thank you, next.' And this song talks all about her relationships. It talks about Pete Davidson. It's just, it's yet again an example of art being life, not even imitating life. It's the way of the music scene now."
